I think we're all as good as friends here. People to rely on.
A friend in need...
As for weight loss, I feel almost ashamed to admit I don't have had any weight gain using BP meds. I have loss of appetite very quickly when cycling. But that doesn't make me or less of friend material. But unfortunately there are many who share your pain, in that respect, it seems.
Only advice I can give you is to do away with buying anything containing lots of sugar, including less than very pure chocolate. It tends to feel like something we might "need" during depression, eating anything else being way too much, but we really don't! It makes thing worse not only physically but also mentally.
PM me or just post here on the forum if you feel like talking to someone!
